There was a time when Harry wouldn’t even consider taking a nap without Fred, but quite a while ago he was dumped unceremoniously beside the armchair, and there he stayed. Apart from being lifted up now again when we hoovered, he has remained in the same place, totally ignored by Harry. We could have put him in a cupboard somewhere, but we have got so used to him being around that we now consider him to be part of the furniture.
Now Fred is back in favour. Suddenly Harry loves him again, and when Harry has a snooze Fred is right there beside him. Or under him.
